Eric, Ugh. I have spent the last 3 years trying to undo the damage of "level" thinking. Software internationalization and localization don't fit that neatly into simple levels. Instead we now use a matrix approach (for internationalization). Here is a link to the matrix and the document which describes it: http://www.sun.com/developers/gadc/des_dev/i18ntaxonomy/index.html Having worked in application i18n for over 12 years now, I can tell you that levels are a poor view of i18n. Other may have suggestions for l10n. Regards, Andrea Vine I18n Architect Sun Microsystems > Eric Kreiser wrote: > > A few months back I read a great article on software globalization.
